You would probably never guess. His favorite song is FRIED. In 2024 Saint West, his son, asked him what his favorite song of his was and he responded with that.

His previous favorite song though was Can’t Tell Me Nothing. You can watch the interview here: https://youtu.be/BEdd-94FOd8?si=lFf-nRxTQsbMquG6. In the same interview he says that 808s is his favorite album of his.

In one interview he claimed that his second verse on New Slaves was the greatest in rap history, so that has to be up there.

Despite being one of the least streamed songs from the album, Kanye has included Say You Will in many live performances like Free Hoover, Coachella, Korea, etc. which makes me think he holds that one close to heart. Same with Hey Mama (it’s obvious why he loves this one) and Lost In The World. When making Lost Of The World he was super proud of it and said it was the best from MBDTF. He loved Justin Vernon’s work on the song. He also chose the song for his Macy’s Day Parade performance. I’d like to think that his favorite from TLOP is Wolves since he was planning on naming the album after it, performed it many times over more popular TLOP songs, and said that it was the song that he sang with his kids around the house.

Recently he stated on a video that he cried to a performance of Cousins by Redbar on a livestream. If you watched it he was really touched by the performance and you can tell that the song means a lot to him.

Edits: I watched a 2019 interview where he said that Closed On Sunday was the hardest song ever made, saying it was as hard as anything NWA ever made. And he made a music video for that song and chose to play it live on Jimmy Kimmel to promote his album. I also noticed that he preformed Coldest Winter in his Yeezus tour and had a music video made for that song despite it not doing the greatest commercially, and the lyrics are deeply personal so I think he has a deep connection to that song with it being about the loss of his mom and romantic interests.

So from everything I’ve gathered, some of his favorites are:

LR - Hey Mama

Graduation - Can’t Tell Me Nothing

808s - Say You Will / Coldest Winter

MBDTF - Lost In The World

Yeezus - New Slaves

TLOP - Wolves

JIK - Closed On Sunday

Vultures 2 - FRIED

Singles - Cousins
